What does “best-heat” mean on this page?

“best-heat” is a filter that surfaces buildings with stronger heat performance signals on Openigloo. Use it as a starting point, then verify heating specifics for the exact unit before signing.

How does the “bm2-bus” filter work?

The “bm2-bus” filter narrows buildings to those near the BM2 route. It’s a location-based scope, so you should still confirm your walk and commute time from the building to your usual stop.

Does a high heat rating guarantee the unit will be warm every winter?

No. Ratings summarize building-level signals, but unit conditions and maintenance execution can vary. Ask the building directly about the current heating setup for your specific unit.

What should I confirm before I sign a lease for a “best-heat” building?

Ask about heating responsibility (what’s included), how requests are handled during cold spells, whether thermostats are accessible, and what maintenance timelines look like. Also request any documented history of repairs relevant to the unit.

Are there additional costs related to heat or utilities I should expect?

Heat comfort and total monthly costs can still depend on your lease and how utilities are billed. Confirm whether utilities are included and review deposits, any building fees, and utility responsibility beyond the asking rent.

What if I see mixed tenant feedback despite the filter?

Treat mixed feedback as a clue to investigate. Look for whether issues are described as recurring vs. one-time, and ask management to address the specific concern with specifics for your unit.
